Founders
MALEK AMRANI
FOUNDER + WINEMAKER
VICES: WINE, TRIATHLON, PIZZA
The Vice’s exploratory, yet refined range comes from co-founder Malek Amrani’s own rich background. A Moroccan-born world traveler, Team USA athlete and Level 3 Sommelier with an exceptional palate, Malek eventually settled in New York where for the last decade, he planted himself as the top sales professional for Moet Hennessy & Diageo.
Malek and his wife Torie Greenberg have since worked tirelessly to build The Vice Wine as the brand of choice for wine diehards and first-timers alike, balancing the classic quality of California vineyards with a current understanding of the consumer’s wine trend.

Torie is the CBO of The Vice Wine and responsible for all things visual & branding. Hailing from a fashion & design background, studying at Parsons The New School for Design, Torie went on to design for various companies for over a decade.
